The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

"I heard that you brothers gathered together again today, and you brought Xiao Shiwu with you?" Kangxi asked when the crown prince went to the South Study Room in the afternoon.

Yinfeng nodded, "Eighth brother and the others haven't seen Hong Xi and An He for a while, so they went over to have a look. Fourteenth brother is a good brother, so he specially brought fifteenth brother together." The prince explained the matter concisely and in a few words clear.

But he said that Shisi is a good brother, and he is obviously hydrated, Shisi is very clever.He found that the ninth and tenth brothers also like to get along with the second sister-in-law, but they deliberately keep a distance. The teacher also said that men and women are different in class.He was worried that others would think that he would not allow him to get close to the princess when he grew up, so he deliberately went to get fifteenth elder brother.

Brother Fifteen is only two years old, so he needs someone to take care of him. He will not be able to stay naturally when the time comes.

Simply perfect.

"I think it's better for the fifteenth younger brother to go to Yuqing Palace more often. Concubine Wang Shu is about to give birth, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent. The other brothers are all going to study in the study, and no one plays with him." Although Hongxi is old It's not big, it's all children babbling, he thinks it's quite interesting.

Kangxi didn't say yes or no, he changed the subject, "I asked Liang Jiugong to give you the money, and if you want any ingredients in the future, you can go to the head of the imperial dining room. In addition, you can read this memorial and tell us what you think .”

This is a memorial about the livelihood of the Eight Banners. In May of this year, the investigation by relevant departments showed that more than [-] soldiers of the Eight Banners had no houses to live in. This was an incredible thing in Kangxi's view.Regarding the soldiers, they have made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Without them, how could the Qing Dynasty have such a great river and mountain today.

However, more than 7000 people had no houses to live in after they were disarmed and returned to the fields. These [-] people were not within the scope of the entire Qing Dynasty, but were only investigated by personnel near the capital.There are so many people who are 'homeless' at the foot of the capital and the emperor, and in other areas...

Just think about it.

This is not the most unacceptable thing for him, the most unacceptable thing is an incident that happened in the Royal Garden not long ago.

Four or five thousand soldiers gathered in the imperial city to petition, and eight of them broke into the first gate of the imperial garden, which almost caused a riot.A concubine concubine who was walking in the imperial garden was frightened at the time, and some people fell into the lake in a panic.

Originally Kangxi was furious, but after learning that their situation was true, he found that he could not issue an order to deal with them.

Of course, he is not a partial listener, but sent someone to investigate the authenticity of this matter.Now things have worked out.

Yinreng's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked down at the content written in the memorial again, "Khan Ama, this?" He naturally knew that there were many people near the capital who did not have houses to live in, but he did not expect the fact to be worse than his. It's more serious than imagined.

Kangxi's expression was a little heavy, "Our Qing Dynasty has today. Firstly, it is due to the ignorance of the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, it is inseparable from the hard work of these passionate people. Now seeing them like this, I feel heavy. I plan to grant a piece of land to build houses for them ,how do you feel?"

Build houses?Of course it should be. He also discussed this with Shiliu a few days ago. What the two of them meant was not only to arrange a house for them to live in, but also to arrange some livelihood for them.Some of these soldiers were injured and disabled in the battlefield. If they don’t have a living in the future, even if you give them a house, they can only starve to death.

"Your sixth brother proposed an idea. He said that high-rise buildings can be built with cement and steel bars. Well, that's it." Kangxi took out a piece of drawing paper from the table, and on it was a crooked modern building drawing drawn by the sixth elder brother with charcoal. .Brother Six doesn't understand architecture, but who made him have a system?This soldier's riot just gave him a chance.

Reinforced concrete is strong, and a small building with three or five floors will be built at that time. It will not take up space, but it will also be beautiful and foreign, and it will also solve the housing problem for soldiers.

"Cement is ready-made, and steel bars are easy to make. Xiaoliu means that if the cement is not enough, you can use green bricks instead, and only pour cement in the surrounding corners." Kangxi pointed to the four corners of the painting and said.According to Xiao Liu, this kind of building is definitely not as strong as the one made of reinforced concrete, but it is also better than the current pavilions.

Speaking of green bricks, he also provided a technique for firing bricks, which greatly reduced the cost.

Yinreng carefully looked at the drawings and thought carefully. He never objected to his opinions just because he hated the sixth elder brother in his heart.Thinking over and over in his heart, he said hesitantly: "I feel that if the sixth younger brother is sure, it is better to give it a try." He raised his head, "Khan Ama, I feel that there is no need to distribute these houses to anyone. We can just live in those soldiers, and if they have descendants, they can live in them for free within three generations; if they have no descendants, these houses will be taken back after their death and distributed to other soldiers who have no residence."

Yinfeng was not idle during this time, he also went to investigate the affairs of these soldiers.He found that the gap between the rich and the poor within the Eight Banners is very serious.Not to mention their elder brothers, but for the flag owners of all banners, life is gradually becoming luxurious.The money they spend every month is enough to pay hundreds of soldiers for a month.

And some soldiers have to use more than half of their money every month to repay the loan in order to make a living.He heard from Shiliu that there are many underground money houses in the capital, and what they do is this kind of high-profit business, and behind these people there are court officials who support them.Some are even related to the royal palaces of the clan.

Borrowing like this is compound interest, and it is like a big snowball in the end.

What should I do if I can't afford it?Some people will sell their sons and daughters, and some people will take risks and do things that violate the law and discipline.

Kangxi sees things like this thoroughly, and has long explicitly prohibited this from happening.But who can stop in front of interests?

For example, Suo'etu, such as Mingzhu, there are two people in the underground bank in the capital.Another example is the current Amber House.Life in the Amber Mansion has always been luxurious, where did the money come from?

This is just the capital city. In places far away from the capital city, I don't know how many dirty things like this happen.

What are these people borrowing for?Many people just want to have a house to live in.

It's that simple.

But for this simple reason, a large part of those people have been wasted for many years, and they can't even marry a daughter-in-law in middle age.

If this house is really built, it doesn't need to be much, and each person will be divided into two rooms. He believes that the difficult life of the soldiers can be solved to a large extent.

Kangxi reached out and knocked on the table, what Yinfeng said was not unreasonable.What he could find out, Kangxi naturally found out, and what he found out was more detailed than Yinreng.

He didn't know the details, but he thought, in fact?Yinreng has the pomegranate as a cheating tool. Not only does he know who borrowed the loan, he also knows who the owners behind these banks are.

"Then who do you think is appropriate to entrust this matter to?" The first thing he thought of to win people's hearts was naturally the prince, but the prince didn't understand these things, and he was worried that he couldn't do it well.Unlike others, Xiao Liu was willing to give the crown prince all these credits.

Yinfeng smiled slightly, "Naturally, it is most appropriate to leave it to the sixth brother. After all, both the cement and this building were conceived by the sixth brother."

Kangxi was very pleased that Yinreng was indeed a good prince and brother, and Xiaoliu treated him like this regardless of past suspicions.But his temper is too good, it seems that he still needs to find a serious and virtuous king for him.

"Then let the third child and the sixth child work together." The sixth child is in charge of supervising the work, and the third child is responsible for distributing the money.

Yinfeng looked up at Kangxi to confirm that he was not joking.The third brother and the sixth brother have always been at odds, is Khan Ama's decision serious?Isn't he afraid of the two fighting?

Don't say that Yinfeng can't believe it, even the third elder brother and sixth elder brother are the same. They have a "deep hatred".When the third elder brother learned of the project he was in charge of, he almost didn't laugh out loud.He looked at Brother Six and snorted coldly, Xiao Liu dared to look down on him, this time he must strictly guard against death, Xiao Liu don't want to take an extra copper coin from him.

The eldest elder brother poked the prince habitually, "Aren't you drunk?" Almost all of them have a grudge against Xiao Liu, especially the third child, which is "the hatred of taking his wife".If they work together, aren't they afraid of blowing up the capital?

The prince gave the eldest brother a sideways look, he dared to say such words in public, he deserved to be the eldest brother.

"Brother should believe in the ability of the third brother. If the elder brother is not at ease, why not help the third brother to investigate the prices, so as to prevent the third brother from being deceived by the people below." The eighth elder brother said with a smile.

The elder brother's eyes lit up, as expected of Xiao Ba, this is a good idea.

He walked over to the two brothers and put their arms around the third elder brother, "Third brother, do you need help from the elder brother? The elder brother has no other skills. It is okay to help you check the prices of these materials. After all, this is for soldiers. Brother also wants to do his part."

Brother San's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, he had investigated the price thoroughly beforehand, wouldn't he be able to see if Xiao Liu would falsely report the price and deduct it privately?

"Thank you big brother, but although my younger brother is not talented, there are still two people who can change." The idea is a good idea, as for the big brother?Forget it, even if the eldest brother is deceived by others, he may not know it.The third elder brother plans to take someone to see it himself.

He turned to look at Brother Nine, "Brother Ninth, how about I ask you something?" Brother Nine has always been sensitive to money, if Brother Nine is willing to help him, it will definitely be more effective.

Ninth elder brother was thinking about it, "Third brother wants my younger brother to help settle the accounts?" What can he do?He really couldn't think of anything else.

Pulling Brother Jiu to the side, Third Brother said in a low voice: "Third Brother knows that Ninth Brother likes to do business and has the ability to do this. Third Brother thought, I'll go ask Khan Ama later, let's go out and visit together. Explore the price. How about it?"

"Don't worry, my brother won't let you suffer. This time the credit will definitely be your share. Think about it, isn't the empress Yifei always worried about you? When the time comes, you will put this credit to the empress, and the empress will not be happy. ?”

The author has something to say: The fact that soldiers have no houses is a document from Baidu. It happened in the 34th year of Kangxi, so I won’t post the specifics.This incident is only quoted in the article, and the text descriptions are all added according to time. (Look at my strong desire to survive, ^_^)

In addition, many self-built buildings in my hometown in the countryside are of this kind. The overall structure is mainly red bricks, and only reinforced concrete is used in the four corners.

This chapter is still three thousand, and I will update the three thousand when I have time at night.There are a few things to write today.
